    In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?An image forms in the machine.A classroom.No trousers.#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    There was a 'womp' sound from the yard. I looked out the window.Where the large pile of leaves had been, a dragon sat."Oi!" I called."The hoard was unguarded," the dragon said. "I claim it."Every damn year. It'll leave once the leaves lose their golden hue. Meanwhile, I can't order takeaway.#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    "Best take the staples out, Tom," Alice said as she left the room."Best take the staples out, Tom," he mimicked her voice once she was gone, scrunching up his face. "As if I've never used a shredder before."He fed the documents into the machine, one by one, taking comfort in their destruction. The next one he picked up had a staple. He grinned as he put it in the shredder. What's the worst that could happen?The shredder pulled in the paper and shredded it until the staple hit the rotating blades. A spark and a bang made Tom jump. The lights in the room dimmed momentarily. Then, a loud mechanical whirring came from the machine, rising in pitch as the motor spun faster and faster.Tom stepped back cautiously as the stack of papers on the table were sucked through the air into the shredder. When a book flew off the shelf towards the machine, he ran out of the room. In a panic, he pressed the nearest fire alarm and ran out of the building.Chairs and tables were shreded, followed by drywall and supporting pillars. People hurried out of their offices. Part of the building caved in, smashing the shredder and severing its power line. Without electricity, it finally stopped.Stunned office workers looked around to see if anyone was injured or missing. Tom found his colleagues, thankfully all there."I told you," Alice said."I told you," Tom repeated, making a silly face.#Inktober #Inktober2025 #microfiction #shredded

    @MicroSFF the hard part is getting the cheese and wine to pull the lever when inside the machine
